Some will stay at the hotel indefinitely while others may find shelter elsewhere.
The bus was due to arrive sometime Friday afternoon. But its arrival was delayed after village officials began making inquiries to local, county, state and federal agencies to gain a better understanding of the situation. The news also came with no direction from state, county or City of Chicago authorities with respect to how municipalities are expected to handle this unanticipated situation, according to Village officials. While Mayor Gary Grasso said he will continue to welcome migrants in Burr Ridge with open arms, he said he would have appreciated a heads up that they'd be coming.
"After having spent the last 24 hours asking tough questions and getting honest answers, we are satisfied that the federal agencies tasked with performing health and safety screening on the migrants are doing their job. We have confidence in their ability to manage this situation capably," said Mayor Johnson.
